Procedure of Supermesh Current Analysis
- Make sure the circuit is planar.
- Redraw the circuit if we can simplify it.
- Make meshes in every loop you can find and assign the labels.
- Form a supermesh circuit if you find a current source between two meshes.
- Use KVL and maybe some KCL to the supermesh branch.
What is supernode condition?
In circuit theory, a supernode is a theoretical construct that can be used to solve a circuit. This is done by viewing a voltage source on a wire as a point source voltage in relation to other point voltages located at various nodes in the circuit, relative to a ground node assigned a zero or negative charge.
What is the difference between mesh and Supermesh?
A super mesh is formed when two adjacent meshes share a common current source and none of these (adjacent) meshes contains a current source in the outer loop. In super mesh analysis technique, the current source is in the inner area of the super mesh.
When can we apply Supermesh?
A supermesh occurs when a current source is contained between two essential meshes. The circuit is first treated as if the current source is not there. This leads to one equation that incorporates two mesh currents.
How do you identify a supernode?
Supernode in electric circuits The two nonreference nodes form supernode if the voltage source (dependent or independent) is connected between two nonreference nodes. As shown below in Figure 1, 1 V voltage source is connected between nodes 1 and 2, so node 1 and node 2 forms supernode.

When can you use a supernode?
Supernodes are used to do nodal analysis on circuits containing voltage sources. You would make a supernode from each pair of nodes that are connected by a voltage source.
Can a supernode contain a resistor?
A supernode is like a node that contains sources and/or resistors. Since these elements cannot store charge, KCL holds at supernodes too.
Does current flow through a supernode?
Like we learned about nodal analysis, we only need to use KCL to find the current flowing in each branch or element. But for a supernode, it is impossible to calculate how much current is flowing through a voltage source.
